Opinion
Civil Action No. 09-cv-02894-REB-BNB.
April 19, 2010
ORDER
This matter arises on the defendant's Motion to Continue Settlement Conference [Doc. # 25, filed 4/15/2010] (the "Motion"). I held a hearing on the Motion this morning and made rulings on the record, which are incorporated here. In summary and for the reasons stated on the record:
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion [Doc. # 25] is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the settlement conference set for April 22, 2010, at 1:30 p.m., is VACATED and RESET to June 4, 2010, at 9:00 a.m., in Courtroom 401, 4th floor, Alfred A. Arraj United States Courthouse, 901 19th Street, Denver, Colorado. All settlement conferences that take place before the magistrate judge shall be confidential. Pro se parties, attorneys, and client representatives with full authority to settle the case must be present at the settlement conference in person. (NOTE: This requirement is not fulfilled by the presence of counsel alone. If an insurance company is involved, an adjustor authorized to enter into settlement must also be present.) Each party shall submit a confidential settlement statement to my chambers on or before June 1, 2010, outlining the facts and issues in the case and containing a specific offer of compromise, including a dollar amount the client will accept or pay in settlement and any other essential terms of a settlement.
